Unravel the mysteries of recursive functions.

JavaScript the Hard Parts: Exploring Recursion in JavaScript

Join us for a live, interactive workshop where you’ll unravel the mysteries of recursive functions, AKA functions that call themselves.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to use loops and recursion for solving problems efficiently.
  • The key components of recursive functions, including base and recursive cases.
  • Techniques for improving performance and readability of recursive functions.

Guided by one of our expert Codesmith instructors, this hands-on session will break down recursion step-by-step. Walk away with a clear understanding of recursion, practical strategies for applying it in your code, and newfound confidence to tackle even the toughest programming challenges!

Is this workshop right for you?

To get the most out of this workshop, we recommend getting started on our free learning platform CSX and working up to the Recursion unit before the workshop.
